Poll: 60% think federal gov't should recognize same-sex marriages (BS!)
CBS ^ | 3/26/2013 | staff

Posted on 03/26/2013 4:04:43 PM PDT by tobyhill

As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in two high-profile cases this week - California's Proposition 8 and the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act - 60 percent of Americans think the federal government should legally recognize existing same-sex marriages and provide them the same federal benefits the government provides to heterosexual married couples. Just 35 percent do not think the government should do this.

The legality of same-sex marriage varies by state. When it comes to who should decide this issue, most Americans- 62 percent - think the decision should be left up to each individual state government, while just 26 percent think it should be up to the federal government.

Meanwhile, a slight majority of Americans (53 percent) thinks it should be legal for same-sex couples to marry.

Every day we hear of another politician who was once against gay marriage changing their opinion and are now for gay marriage.

We simply do not hear of politicians who were for gay marriage changing this opinion and are now against gay marriage.

Yes, they were all pretty close. But they only need 50% +1.

NC voted theirs in by 61% last year. That’s the same % CA voted in prop. 22 in the year 2000. So in 2012 NC basically tied the state of CA 12 years before. CA prop. 8 passed by 52% in 2008. That’s swinging 9% in 8 years. That trend doesn’t look too positive to me.

That's because they're following the polls.

If public opinion was moving away from gay marriage, you'd see politicians eager to pander that way. But instead, national public opinion is moving quite strongly in the other direction, and the spineless politicians are falling over themselves to show how personally "enlightened" they are.

Why would a bankrupt government allow same sex marriage? That’s cutting their own throats, especially when these man lovers will be getting all those nice tax perks on a two male income.

And think about all the health costs they’re gonna add to the commiecare system as a “family”. All their approved diseases, drug addictions, and survivor benefits when they take dirt naps before their 50th birthday.

That’s about as bad as abortion. Think about all the potential taxpayers they’ve lost over the years.

That’s plain dumb. DUMB I tell yah.

They also are indoctrinating our children with our money-—to make them pro-homosexual/pro-Sodomy. No sane person was pro-sodomy in the 50’s prior to mass indoctrination from Kinsey/Hollywood/Deep Throat. The Cultural Marxists knew to destroy Virtue, you sexualize the kids. Sex Ed finally got inroads in 1970-—to pervert the kids. After that, schools have created really immoral children who are like animals today. (Exactly what BF Skinnerean curricula is expected to do.) (Creating an Afghani worldview in our children).

Look at the book, “Shades of Grey”—all to promote anal sex so Hollywood can make evil, “good” and glamorous to kids. The young vote is where the majority is coming from now.

The kids have had intense conditioning with Pride Days in schools—BF Skinner “operant conditioning” so they are made to “feel” good about sodomy. Think of how dogs salivate when a bell rang for Pavlov. Association/emotions-—they control curricula to get the “right” response from kids. If they don’t “feel” good about sodomy—they “reeducate” and “change agents” make sure that after a year or two that child has the “right” mindset—worldview. Kids are targeted with testing. Those who don’t respond correctly WILL have their attitudes changed using peer pressure, humiliation, etc. Kids can NOT withstand this indoctrination.

I can’t express enough how EVIL the curricula is in public schools. It has been particularly evil, since John Dewey and Kinsey and when the Cultural Marxists combined Freud and Marx (took restraint off of sex). Sex Ed is always destructive to children. It would take me an hour to go into the psychology of having strangers give group lessons about something which is naturally private and intimate. it destroys innocence in children and removes morality from the sex act. The kids are trained like animals-—they literally can not use Reason by the time they get out of high school. Alan Bloom noticed this problem in the 80’s with his ground breaking expose “The Closing of the American Mind.

They are doing that with the psychological curricula in our schools. We allow sick perverts like Billy Ayers to design curricula and immerse it with Skinnerean cr*p and the psychology of Wundt.

Kids are put through Political Correctness factories where they are made to feel like haters and bigots if they say anything negative about disgusting anal sex. The Marxists control the language (frame every issue) with the media and write the curricula (Billy Ayers). The person who controls the dialogue (words are being twisted to mean nothing like “marriage’) controls all the perceptions.

We need to unplug the kids from the Marxist/Goebbels machine. Get them out of the “operant conditioning” classroom (Race to the Top, Goals 200 and Common Core). All public school curricula is designed to destroy Reason and make children “feel” what is “Right”.

Take your kids out of public schools—homeschool or Christian/Jewish schools. We need kids to understand the Constitution and be able to debate ideas again (Return Classical Education). We need God back in schools since our Rights come from God-—not Satan and sodomites.

Polls have always shown that the public favors “same-sex marriage” - until the public goes into the voting booth, where they can’t be mocked and intimidated by the gay lobby.....
